Reverted revision 3416, fixing bug #589 http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589 I was going to add the current window to the OpenGL context info, but that doesn't fix the case where you set the current context to NULL and then set the current context to the same window it had before. This also doesn't take into account changes to the window that might affect the context, such as viewport changing or fullscreen/windowed mode changing. Any ideas?

SDL on DirectFB

Supports:

- Hardware YUV overlays
- OpenGL - software only
- 2D/3D accelerations (depends on directfb driver)

What you need:

DirectFB 1.0.0 - required
Kernel-Framebuffer support: required: vesafb, radeonfb .... 
Mesa 7.0.x	   - optional for OpenGL

As of this writing 20070810 you need to pull Mesa from git and do the following:

------------------------
cd mesa 
make linux-directfb
make

echo Installing - pleaser enter sudo pw.

sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL
cd src/mesa/drivers/directfb
make
sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL
------------------------

To run the SDL - testprograms:

export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directfb
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/dfb_GL/lib
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/dfb_GL/libGL.so.7

./testgl

To use hardware accelerated YUV-overlays for YUV-textures, use:

export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_DIRECT=1

This is disabled by default. It will only support one concurrent 
overlay and may behave strange if not used with SDL_CreateYUvOverlay
from SDLcompat.c.
